Chapter 65: Enemy Aircraft
The Japanese infantry wing in the nameless valley sent a request for support from the base camp as soon as it was shelled, and the Japanese base camp immediately asked the nearest Japanese airfield to send support, but the airport did not let the fighters take off immediately after receiving the information, and now the planes in the airfield are not equipped with night radars, and forced take-off is likely to cause a huge flight accident, and the commander of the airfield does not think that the Imperial Japanese Army is so easily defeated.

However, the constant battle reports from the battlefield made the commander in the airport more and more surprised, the two Japanese elite infantry regiments were actually suppressed by the enemy fire of the Chinese army, and countless soldiers were broken every hour, which made the commander of the airport feel like pins and needles every minute, but he did not dare to let the fighter take off forcibly. Fortunately, it is summer, and the dawn is relatively early, and when the sky is just a little bright, the airport command, which has been suffering all night, immediately asks the only flight team in the airport to take off, although there is still a certain danger of taking off, but the situation in the battlefield is already developing in the worst direction, and they must take risks. Now that the planes have taken off, they are bound to destroy the enemy, especially the damned artillery positions of the enemy! In last night's battle report, this artillery position posed a great threat to the soldiers of the Imperial Army throughout the battlefield.
Fortunately, it was a good day today, although it was still early, and the pilots in the plane could still see the plane in front of them vaguely, for the sake of safety, the group flew very slowly, and it was already an hour later when they arrived at the battlefield, and the sky was already bright, and they clearly looked at their own positions full of corpses. The pilot center is full of anger, how many years have you been on the battlefield in China, when did the Imperial Japanese Army want to suffer such a loss today, every time you fly over the battlefield, the corpses of the other party are all over the field, and there has never been a time like today! Avenge! Snow shame! It's already deeply seared in their minds!
After hovering low in the battlefield for a while, the plane flew towards several suspected artillery positions provided by several squads to several land forces! Last night, it was too dark, and it was difficult for the army wing on the ground to see clearly the flight direction of the Tianshan artillery shells, and according to Wang Lei's request, the Eighth Route Army set up several guns in other directions, and they couldn't distinguish the direction of the enemy's artillery position, so there were only a few vague directions in the information given.
Japanese planes soon approached the suspected enemy artillery position, but there was no artillery position on the ground. Just when they thought that there was nothing to prepare for the return flight, suddenly a dense network of anti-aircraft fire appeared in the sky, and some planes were shot down directly before they could react.
"Anti-aircraft artillery !!" The captain of the flying team, Suzuo Ogasawara, looked at this familiar firelight and gritted his teeth, he was very familiar with this kind of enemy that appeared in the first battle, but he really didn't expect that there were so many anti-aircraft guns here, before the infantry wing reported that they were ambushed by the Eighth Road, but looking at the anti-aircraft gun position in front of him, he wanted to send those intelligence officers to the military court, and now a large number of anti-aircraft guns are arranged around this valley, which is simply impossible for the current Eighth Route Army to take out.
Soon Ogasawara Shuo found that this was not the only anti-aircraft gun position, and anti-aircraft fire nets appeared in the direction of several squads, and it seemed that they also encountered anti-aircraft guns, and in an instant Ogasawara Shuo's face was pale, and the sky was too dark He couldn't see the situation of the squad in the distance, but the squad he led was shot down in the wave of attacks just now, and 3 planes were seriously damaged, and through the cockpit cover, he also saw that there were several planes in the squadron he led were emitting smoke, and the situation of the other squadrons would not be very good. As the commander of this battle, Ogasawara Suzuo regretted it very much, he underestimated the enemy, they still thought that the enemy did not have no empty firepower as before, hovering at low altitude as usual, throwing bombs, and shooting planes, which led to the enemy's anti-aircraft guns causing such heavy casualties to the aircraft group in the first place! But now it is impossible for the group to climb, and now the climb is undoubtedly a fixed target for the anti-aircraft guns, and now the only way is to leave the anti-aircraft gun firing range, but now these anti-aircraft guns seem to be distributed around the valley, I don't know how far these anti-aircraft gun positions are arranged, if the enemy arranges a fairly wide range, then forcibly breaking through the blockade will only suffer greater casualties, and now the only way out is the northeast direction from which they came, and they have not suffered any attacks all the way, It's just that now Ogasawara always feels that something is wrong, but looking at the anti-aircraft gun position on the ground that keeps spitting tongues of fire, Ogasawara can only signal to return.
On the way back, Ogasawara saw the situation of the other squadrons, and after a rough estimate, Ogasawara was horrified to find that just now, their entire flying squadron had lost nearly 20 aircraft. For the first time, Ogasawara Shuo regretted that there was no radio on the plane, and if there was a radio, they would have informed the other squadrons to leave as soon as they entered the ambush circle of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, and their flying group would not have suffered such a big loss at all.
After leaving the range of anti-aircraft guns and hovering above the battlefield for a while, Ogasawara found that they could only watch the situation on the battlefield deteriorate, the enemy's position kept spitting tongues of fire, and his own resistance was getting weaker and weaker, but he did not dare to go down and take it to the flying team to attack the enemy's position, since there were anti-aircraft guns nearby, he did not believe that there were no anti-aircraft guns around the enemy's position. Now the surrounding valleys are covered with anti-aircraft guns, and it is simply difficult for the planes to climb to a safe height to reach the range of anti-aircraft guns, and they cannot get out of the range of anti-aircraft guns, and they can easily become a live target for the enemy if they climb like this!
In the end, Ogasawara could only lead the team back, intending to climb to a safe height after leaving the battlefield and bombing the enemy's position when he came back, but Ogasawara always had a trace of uneasiness in his heart!
Ogasawara Shuo's flying team began to return, but not long after flying out, Ogasawara was frightened by the scene in front of him. There was an anti-aircraft artillery position hidden under the channel that had always been safe, and the range of this anti-aircraft artillery position was larger than just now, and now his flying group had entered the range of this anti-aircraft gun position. The anti-aircraft guns in the whole position are quite widely distributed, and the interval between each anti-aircraft guns is relatively far, and they can support each other, so the bombs they carry pose a much smaller threat to the entire position, and now they can only destroy one anti-aircraft gun per bomb, but there are only three anti-aircraft guns near each anti-aircraft gun to support, and it is very difficult to destroy an anti-aircraft gun. And their planes are all constantly shot down under the threat of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns, and now their only way out is to rush out, but in the face of so many anti-aircraft guns, there will not be many fighters left that can rush out in the end, and Ogasawara Sugeo's flying team is in a desperate situation all of a sudden!
